Developer Honeyslug has just released Hohokum across PlayStation platforms, and now it’s ready to show off its animal-detonating next project Super Exploding Zoo. There’s a bursting panda – it’s adorable!

Valiant Hearts: The Great War is a new kind of war story. We’ve seen adorable cartoon styles before. We’ve seen emotional storytelling before. We’ve even seen trusty dog companions. But all at once, in a stunningly gorgeous side-scrolling adventure? That’s new.

Fourth person gameplay is not a term one usually hears when discussing the contents of a video game. Today on the PS Blog, Pavilion developer Visiontrick Media tries to explain how this works in the firm’s isometric puzzler.

War is an ugly thing. It tears families apart, draws the innocent unwillingly into conflict, destroys the landscape, and is rife with death. It takes an emotional toll on everyone and everything. This is exactly what Ubisoft Montpellier is striving to convey in its World War 1 puzzle-adventure game, Valiant Hearts: The Great War.
